"One of the Seven Acts of Mercy: A Family Welcoming an Elderly Couple in the Portico of a Palatial Mansion" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Dirck van Deelen. The artwork illustrates the theme of hospitality, one of the seven acts of mercy derived from Christian teachings, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew (25:35-40), where Jesus enumerates the acts of righteousness that will lead to eternal life. Van Deelen, known for his architectural paintings, combines his expertise in depicting grand structures with the human element of charity in this work.

The painting captures a moment of benevolence as a well-to-do family receives an elderly couple into the shelter of their opulent home. The scene is set in the portico of a palatial mansion, a common feature in van Deelen's oeuvre, where the architectural elements often play a significant role in the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the classical architecture, the play of light and shadow, and the intricate clothing of the figures, all of which contribute to the narrative and the moral message of the painting.

Dirck van Deelen (1604/1605–1671) was an accomplished member of the Middelburg school of painting and is celebrated for his architectural interiors and perspective views. His works often feature grandiose settings that serve as a backdrop for various human activities, ranging from the mundane to the virtuous, such as the act of mercy depicted in this painting. "One of the Seven Acts of Mercy" not only showcases van Deelen's artistic skills but also reflects the cultural and religious values of the Dutch Golden Age, making it a significant piece for both art history and the study of 17th-century Dutch society.
